I have the 160F T-stat, yet, my A/F meter shows the computer plays with the
A/F ratio as soon as the o2 sensor is warmed up, the needle isnt even off of
the 130 mark before it does it (less than 1 min after starting the truck)
It may be different though on other trucks.. but thats how mine plays with
it...
